Personally, not my cup of tea. Male was toxic “not in sexy way” and was cringe. The beginning of book was great but the more I read the less interested I became. Was so upset it left with too many unanswered questions. Also, preggo trope.

After the brutal cliffhanger we were left in Cruel Beast, finally we have the happy ever after Alicia and Enzo rightfully deserves. Was it easy for Enzo to get over his anger for his wife’s supposed betrayal? Or was he quick to stop blaming Alicia for getting his grandfather murdered? And was he able to dispose of his feelings he has developed for Alicia and forget about her? Well, you have to read to find out! I can only say that theirs was an emotional and rocky journey but it was completely worth it at the end…

Savage Vow is the fourth book in the Dark Lies series by J.L. Beck and S. Rena. If you read Cruel Beast, as I did, you would have been left hanging with a cliffhanger. I wanted to know what would happen next to Alicia after that cruel ending that the authors did to us readers. I knew it would be rough for the poor FMC, especially since she was forced into something at the end of book three. It’s bad enough the poor girl was being held captive by the MMC and treated poorly by him the whole time, and now to be forced into marriage. I needed to know if Alicia would get some kind of HEA.
What did I like in the book? Yes, I liked the FMC over the MMC. It’s already been stated, but I also enjoyed how Alicia finally confronted that so-called friend of hers, Elena. Yes, the one that put her in that warehouse and how Alicia ended up with Enzo from the beginning. Alicia got to find out who her friend was to Enzo’s enemy, and Enzo may have even redeemed himself with how he handled that friend.
I liked how everything came together in the end and how Enzo stepped up and took over where his grandfather wanted him to. This may not be a favorite book in the series, but I’m glad the characters got a HEA, even though they didn’t match well as a couple for me.
I’m glad I found this series because it introduced me to J.L. Beck and S. Rena. I now have to look at the other books they have written and keep an eye out for new releases.
Overall, the book received 3.5 stars from me. I did like some aspects of it. Enzo, though, could kick rocks. Alicia, babe, you deserved better.
***Spoiler*** SpoilerI know some readers may want to know this though: Surprise Pregnancy.
Would I recommend this book? Yes. I recommend this to readers who enjoy J.L. Beck and S. Rena’s books and if you enjoy Dark Bully Mafia Romance stories, too.

This one wasn’t my favorite in the series. I struggled to stay interested at the beginning because I felt like there was a bit of repetition. I also felt that instead of the gradual growth between the main couple, it was a sudden changed toward the end. I had my issues with the book, but there was plenty of positives too. The story was interesting and I liked seeing how the authors had decided to end the story.
